VR hand contollers....what are they good for?

That says it all. I'll be upgrading my pC and purchasing the Oculus system that offers hand controllers & I'm curious how current users have been using them in BoX.

Nothing you can do with them in BoX.

 

However I got the Touch controllers and am so glad I did - and they were 200.00 bucks then  rather than the 100 they are now. You also get another sensor with them, which is nice to have for better and larger area tracking. And some Touch games come with them upon activation of the new Touch controllers. There are several really good Touch supported games now out there offered by Oculus. I enjoy them very much for those breaks in between flying BoX. 

When I first got my Rift, I did so for flight sims. Figured that would be all I would do with it, maybe a racing sim down the road. But after getting Touch and trying some of the games like Robo Recall, Dead and Buried, exploring the International Space Station, and recently Star Trek Bridge Crew , I am really  having a good time with them.

 

Still spend the majority of my time in combat flight simming, have not added that racing title yet, but do enjoy the library of games I have now.

VR racing is incredibly fun with a wheel controller.  Not as fun as flying, but sometimes more intense!

Getting Hand Controllers is a Must for VR dedicated games.  Well worth the purchase price.  As more and more titles will take use of them in the future.  Also what good is a mouse and keyboard in a VR title?  You need hands
